Reports Reports

Areas that requires attention in terms of the Blue Drop Requirements

• Water Safety Planning • Treatment Process Management• DWQ Compliance • Management, Accountability• Asset Management

Challenges related to the Water Treatment Works• The absence of an operational logbook; • The Operations and Maintenance manual compiled by DWA RRU not being

utilised; • The jar testing equipment is available but not used as yet;• The working conditions of the process controllers (toilet facilities and the area

for eating is not favourable to instil pride in the work place);• The filtration process can be improved noting the recorded turbidity levels of

final water as well as the visible unacceptable condition of the filter media;• The gas chlorine content measurement scale was out of order and is identified

as a significant risk area;• The lack of flow recording at Aberdeen boreholes is a risky operation since the

municipality has no means of monitoring abstraction vs. safe yield of the aquifer.
